er ntiu "ave invente :rtain new and n l nn n-oke-llell Hanghereby dec e to he a full, clear, and exact description of ti invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to n c and use the same.

he object of my invention is the provision of a cheap and durable means for supporting a so(.'alled hell or shield above gas and other flames to prevent the smoke and nnconsinned products of combustion from ising and coming in contact witl the ceili or other surface above the flame and dim oring or injuring the same, and especially the provision of such a device as can be applied to the is of chandeliers and burner snpporti. brackets already in use and without removing or refashioning the same.

lily invention consis s in certain novelties of construction and couibiinitions of parts as hereinafter set forth and claimed.

The acconipanying drawing illustrates two =.ples of the physical embodiment of the invention constructed acc :ding to the ct modes I have so far devised for the practical application of the principle.

Figure 1 a view of a chandelier with the aiir-s n-ovided with my novel means for suppo ting the smoke lells. Fig. 2 is a sec tional view of one form of the pipe section which forms a part of the device. a sectional view of another form of pipe section secured to an arm of the clnindelier.

Referrin to th several figures, the numeral l d nates the gas conducting pipe and hanger, suitable means being provided for attaching the same to a gas supply pipe at the ceiling: 9, a T connection at the lower end of the g is conducting pipe; 3, 3, two horizontal a is or brackets detachably secured to the T connection by screw threads; --I-, l, the threaded ends of the arms, (the same, being of well known construction, are not shown); and 5, 5, the gas burners and stop-cocks or valves, each being internally threaded and adapted to be screwed upon the threaded end st of an arm, as well known and indicated at the right in Fig. l.

the following Fig. 3

The first example of the invention shown applied to the left arm of the chandelier comprises a pipe section 6 internally threaded at 7 for attachment to the threaded end l of an arm, an externally threaded end 8 adapted to receive and support a gas burner and stop-cock 5, as shown, an integral projecting boss 9 having a threaded hole 10, a lJ-shaped rod 11 threaded at 12 and adapted to be screwed into the hole 10 of the boss and its extreme or free end provided with a hook or eye 13 for the attachment of a chain let carrying a smoke hell or shield, as illustrated. This form of the device is applied to bracket and chandelier arms, as shown at the left in Fig. l, by removing the burner and stop-cock, screwing the pipe section 6 upon the end of the arm, then screwing the burner and stop-cock upon the end of the said pipe section 6, and finally screwing end 12 of the U-shaped rod into the hole 10 in the boss 9 and attaching the smoke bell or shield to the hook or eye at the end of the U-shaped rod.

The second example comprises a pipe section having a hole 15, a setscrew 16, a boss 9 with a threaded hole 10 and the U-shaped rod threaded at 12 as described in connection with the first example. This form of the device is applied, as shown at the right in Fig. l, by unscrewing the burner and stop-cock from the end of the arm, passing the pipe sect-ion over the end of the arm, replacing the burner and stop-cock on the end of the arm, adjusting the smoke bell or shield by sliding the pipe section along the arm so it will occupy a vertical position above the burner, and finally turning the set-screw 16 and clamping the pipe section to the arm.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the drawing it is clear that l have provided a very simple means for hanging a smoke hell or shield above a burner and which can be applied to the arms of chandeliers and bracket arms now in use without reforming or removing the same.
